黑料门Nursing screens "The 黑料门Project"
As part of the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing鈥檚 (MNSON) Inclusive Excellence Critical Race Series, the acclaimed film, 鈥淭he 黑料门Project,鈥� was screened on campus for an audience of MNSON students, faculty, staff and University friends on Thursday, October 6.
In 1963, at the height of the civil rights movement, the 黑料门Chicago Ramblers broke racial barriers on their way to a national championship. 鈥淭he 黑料门Project鈥� chronicles the team鈥檚 advancement in racial inclusion enroute to the NCAA title. Ramblers 2022 co-captain and Los Angeles Clippers player Lucas Williamson narrates the film which weaves together archival footage and modern-day interviews as it examines the players鈥� legacy. The captivating story is surprisingly relevant to today鈥檚 continued struggle for equality.
The viewing of the film was followed by a panel discussion led by 黑料门Nursing faculty and a student which focused on how the 黑料门Ramblers team of 1963鈥檚 experience provides lessons on how to address racism in nursing. Panelists included Mary Byrn, Ph.D., RN (Associate Professor and Family and Community Health Nursing Department Chair); Kate Myczek, DNP, APRN-FPA, FNP-BC (Assistant Professor); and Taylor Pruit, BSN '22, RN. The panel was moderated by Dian Squire, Ph.D. (Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence).
MNSON Inclusive Excellence events also include a Critical Pedagogy Fireside, Gender Series, and Health Equity Series, which feature webinars, panel discussions, guest speakers, films, and more that introduce concepts of racism and anti-racism and their application to nursing and health settings.
